Me too.just sold two thirds of holding.left the rest in isa.I watched them fall years ago and done nothing.not this time.I've banked a profit

I heard you on the radio this morning.It was when you mentioned the 9 x cheaper bit,I thought that's got to be romeron from the lse forum.good on ya

Tanks

Just heard on world service Russia may block Kazakh oil using its pipeline.is this what the storage ranks are for?

I wish mr Anthony coombs was chairman of all my other stocks.

Just added again today,tho still under,partly to me having my reservations about which direction the company was heading,and not adding when we were around 5p,and in fairness,I had plenty of time to do so,and also being well shafted with pattisserie. I live in hope.regards all

The early retirement that is,and I got in again yesterday @23p.I can live with that,as I have in the past purchased much higher.I am dipping into my pension pot,but done a little forcast,and at my current lifestyle,I have a buffer of 8years before it's depleted,that's not including any monthly pension payments,or divis ,or interest off other investments.,so iv got a bit of slack,though don't want to go daft.

Many thanks to you all for your kind words of encouragement,regarding my proposed early retirement.It's given me a lift this morning,so much so I decided to get the old pushbike out for the first time in years,in anticipation for the extra time in going to have.Who the he'll am I kidding?I felt sick and my legs are still jittery.how has unfitness crept up on me so stealthly?This is work in progress folks.aww man

In two months time,I am taking early retirement.I don't know how others felt when making this decision,but for someone like myself who has worked since the age of 12,doing paper rounds ,then at 15years of age serving petrol on a forecourt,to serving my apprenticeship then moving into motor manufacturing,it's a bloody daunting decision.You get comfortable with your regular monthly salary.This is a mindset that you have got to overcome,and I am still weighing up the positives and negatives.Anyway,as I said I am in the motor manufacturing buisness,and ,can anyone remember what Edwina curry done to the poultry business with the salmonella in eggs statement?,well it's happened again,but this time it's with diesel vehicles,and believe me ,the sales of diesel cars has fell off a cliff,so much so that my employer are in the process of restructuring,and are offering a tax free lump sum of 30k to get shot of people that have 15yrs service or more(i have 30yrs).,and I am in the frame to take my pension,albeit with a 5% penalty.Anyway although my income will half,in going for it.Im happy to live in the world,I don't want to own it.come on sxx now,would be a good time to kick on.

My broker informed me that the deadline had been extended, and are waiting a response from myself.As I had previously accepted, i am unable to sell, so will have to wait , and hope the other offers go through, or capita up their offer.My latest response required will be not to accept, but as I said, I made my choice so gotta live with it

Well thats whatever wind I had knocked out of my sails.I dont think there are many companys that consider their shareholders as a priority, although profess to do so.Sowhat do we do now? I have just looked and have held these since 2010, and at best within the last year broke even, tho im back to familiar territory now, firmly in the red. Im just gonna hold folks , disappointed but gonna hold.

Have held these since 2006 and could have made a 50% profit at the time if I remember correctly pre consolidation.Even topped up in 2009 into the open offer.I have since put them into the bottom draw next to the toilet.

so has the share price within a week .first a drop with imperial tanker sale and now this drop after so called good results.Im getting ready to sell up , something not stacking up here
